SSI monthly payments are unearned income. The income is the amount reported by SSA, regardless of penalties to recover an SSI overpayment. An advance SSI payment, to an applicant appearing SSI eligible with a financial emergency, is not income the month received. When SSA reduces ongoing SSI to recover the advance, the SSI payment before the reduction continues to be counted as income. (3-17-22)
